The smoke continues … The wildfires up in Ontario and Manitoba are sending their smoke down to Minnesota, and the skies are gray. Heck, you can smell the smoke at ground level.
Thus, I give you smoked moose. I saw this grand lady up on Toomey Williams Forest Road two mornings ago. Seeing and photographing the moose was my consolation prize. Only a few minutes before I had a “lifer”.
My lifer … As I drove along this remote forest road, I saw what I thought was a clump of dirt. No!!!!! There was a timber wolf cub / pup cuddled up and sleeping or keeping warm at sunrise (it was 37F outside). I did not recognize it as a mammal first, and unfortunately flushed the little guy. The young wolf ran across the road only ten yards in front of me and disappeared into the forest. Amazing sight!
Here is the moose.

Nice catch of the moose. Have been wondering if the wildlife think they should move away from the smoke (?)
Not sure where they would move! The smoke is everywhere.
The “smoked” moose portrait photo with hazy background down back country into distance is wonderful! (p.s.- For those who have enjoyed a Finnish smoke sauna, they’ll recognize the Canadian-fired smoke smell!)
